This stone house is a whole vibe! Private pool hits different, especially after exploring all the cute medieval towns nearby, The fireplace is perfect for chill nights, 10/10 would recommend for a getaway
Belle maison périgourdine, mais elle aurait besoin de quelques rénovations et surtout de prévoir le changement de la literie dans 2 des chambres, ainsi que la machine à laver qui n'éssorait pas.

De accommodatie ligt lekker rustig gelegen. Het zwembad is heerlijk groot en goed onderhouden. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk en helpt je als dit nodig is. Huisje is prima, heeft alle voorzieningen, maar is wel wat ouderwets. Prima huis voor die prijs

De eigenaars waren zeer vriendelijk. Het huisje was gezellig maar sommige dingen aan vernieuwing toe. Zeer landelijk gelegen waardoor moeilijk boodschappen te doen wel kleine winkeltjes in het dorpje. Dit is perfect voor mensen die voor de rust op vakantie gaan.

Het is een oude boerderij met ook dito inrichting. Alle kasten zitten vol met van alles en nog wat, dus voordat je je eigen spullen (boodschappen, kleding) in de kasten kwijt wil moet je eerst wat planken leegmaken. H

Fijne ontvangst. Heel behulpzame eigenaar! Fles wijn en fruitsap bij aankomst. Oud interieur maar alles wat nodig is, is aanwezig. Spijtig dat het zwembad te koud was om echt van te genieten. Verwarming of een zeil zou een groot +punt zijn. Zeer rustig gelegen wat maakt dat je wel wat afstand moet overbruggen om iets te bezichtigen. Er is wel gelukkig een lokaal supermarktje en bakker op 2min. rijden.

Prachtige omgeving, leuk verblijf. We hebben erg genoten van een weekje Dordogne. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. De tuin is geweldig evenals het zwembad. De eigenaar is bijzonder vriendelijk en komt elke dag langs om het zwembad na te kijken. We hebben heerlijk gewandeld in Besse en mooie, oude dorpjes in de omgeving bekeken. Kanoen op de Dordogne is een absolute aanrader evenals een bezoekje aan het plaatsje Sarlat. De laatste dag van ons verblijf hebben we kasteel Bonaguil bezocht. Ook een aanrader. Topvakantie!

Ontvangst was gastelijk door de eigenaar we voelden ons welkom. Het huis op zich is aan de oude kant maar alles is aanwezig om er een leuke vakantie van te maken, we leven toch meer buiten dan binnen en dan heb je nog het prachtige zwembad. De omgeving waar het huis staat is zeer rustig en je hebt vanalles om te bezoeken.
